Members of the Driftwood Garden Club became Santa’s elves on Monday evening at the Marblehead Community Center. Each year, in collaboration with the Marblehead Council on Aging, one of our civic projects is to decorate holiday wreaths as a way to give back to the community.
After members enjoyed a social time with delicious homemade treats provided by our hostesses for the evening, our members got to work. They came prepared with scissors, glue glue guns, floral wire, and various decorations to use. There was also a table filled with bows, pinecones, ribbons and an assortment of decorations provided by the club for all to share.
As the members worked, they chatted and laughed and shared in the spirit of the season. They began to turn the fresh wreaths into lovely gifts to be given to Marblehead residents who participate in the bag lunch program through the Council on Aging. Each of these residents will receive a decorated wreath, or swag, with their lunch which is delivered to them the next day.
We know, through the Marblehead Council on Aging, that the recipients of our wreaths are delighted to be part of this program, and we know how it brightens their day to receive a beautiful wreath. We receive many thank yous in return, and we hope they know that we are just as delighted to do this for them. Happy Holidays, everyone!
